Ayres never lived with his father and he remained in Indiana. &nbsp;William must have passed along a few photos to his daughter Anna Ayres (Gulde), but the the people in the photo were forgotten and no one in our day really knew if we were even connected to the people in these photos. &nbsp;Then, thanks to the efforts by folks both here in Indiana and in South Dakota, we have been able to identify a few more photos of the South Dakota cousins. &nbsp;To learn more about Henley Ayres click on the link below. &nbsp;The historic images were digitally restored by Gayle Bowman. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QKftI-sNyOE/UAYxZd0Na9I/AAAAAAAAB4Q/IkyufmKJ-jQ/s1600/South+Dakota--Carrie+Williams.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="313" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QKftI-sNyOE/UAYxZd0Na9I/AAAAAAAAB4Q/IkyufmKJ-jQ/s320/South+Dakota--Carrie+Williams.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Carolyn "Carrie" Ayres Williams and her children c. 1895 in Gettysburg, South Dakota--Carrie was a half-sister to William F.

That extra person turned out to be his other daughter Carolyn "Carrie" Ayres Williams. She married Andrew Guppy Williams, the first mayor of Gettysburg, South Dakota. &nbsp;Someone at one point has written in "Great Grandpa Ayres." Then they crossed it out and wrote in someone with the name of Henry. &nbsp;The photo was clearly sent by Anna Ayres Williams as a Christmas note. &nbsp;Other photos showing Native American scenes will be posted soon. &nbsp;We never understood why we had these photos. &nbsp;It is all coming together.

Henley Hartley Ayres (1826-1910)Henley Hartley Ayres (1826-1910) has been an elusive character for many of the Indiana descendants of the man. &nbsp;Who was he? &nbsp;What became of him? &nbsp;Family lore stated that he was a an abusive man so his son, William Franklin Ayres (1854-1934), ran away from home and lived with Alexander and Jemima Swain Whitworth in nearby Raysville, Indiana. &nbsp;(more on this couple in another post) Family members spoke in hushed tones about Henley Ayres, yet no one really knew him or had any concrete facts about him. &nbsp;Some of us thought he would be lost in history. &nbsp;Then, Carol Strode, the great great grandchild of Mr. Ayres started finding a paper trail. &nbsp;That path would lead us to place we never expected in Gettysburg.....South Dakota.<br /><br />Henley H. Ayres was born Belmount County, Ohio on February 18, 1826. Little is known of his childhood or even who his parents might be. &nbsp;So far, he does not turn up in the 1830 or 1840 Federal Census. &nbsp;However, by 1850 at age 24 he lived in Tipton, Indiana with the William G. Williams family. He was listed as a carpenter. &nbsp;Curiously, three other men living in the home were also listed in the same profession. &nbsp;It is unclear how he knew the Williams family or if he was just in town to help with a construction project. Others living in the same household included: William G. Williams, 29, carpenter; Jane Williams, 22, wife and housekeeper; Susan Williams, 5, daughter; David Williams, 1, son; Harvey Rood, 19, carpenter; William Stivens (Stivers), 24, tailor; John R. Williams, 37, carpenter.<br /><br />By 1852, he had made his way to Henry County, Indiana where he met nineteen-year-old Anna Swain. &nbsp;She had been living with Alexander and Jemima Swain Whitworth first in Cambridge City and later in Raysville, Indiana. &nbsp;It is unclear at this time if Jemima Swain Whitworth was her aunt as she could not have been her mother. &nbsp;The Whitworths were Quakers who moved from Guilford County, North Carolina to get away from slavery. &nbsp;They never had any of their own children, but they raised at least four orphans. &nbsp;Anna might have been one of those orphans. &nbsp;On December 16, 1852, Henley Ayres married Anna Swain and started a family in the Knightstown-Raysville, Indiana area. <br /><br />By 1854, the couple welcomed their first son, William Franklin Ayres. &nbsp;Within a year, twenty-two year-old Anna Swain Ayres was pregnant with their second child. &nbsp;Sadly, the young woman died shortly after giving birth to George A. Ayres on March 19, 1856. &nbsp;The infant died a few months later. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b0ukVK3bX38/UASwJVQUj-I/AAAAAAAAB3Q/NsNz0gC1gsY/s1600/Anna+E.+Swain+Ayres,+wife+of+HH+Ayres,+d.+3-1856;+Glencove+Cemetery,+Knightstown,+IN.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b0ukVK3bX38/UASwJVQUj-I/AAAAAAAAB3Q/NsNz0gC1gsY/s320/Anna+E.+Swain+Ayres,+wife+of+HH+Ayres,+d.+3-1856;+Glencove+Cemetery,+Knightstown,+IN.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Anna Swain Ayres died in 1856. &nbsp;Sadly, her stone in the Glencove Cemetery in Knightstown, &nbsp;Indiana needs restoration. &nbsp;Perhaps we can remedy this situation. &nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6exR89SjZH4/UASwRRSfdHI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/HMyKkCyk5sc/s1600/Ayres+Section;+Glencove+Cemetery,+Knightstown,+IN.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6exR89SjZH4/UASwRRSfdHI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/HMyKkCyk5sc/s320/Ayres+Section;+Glencove+Cemetery,+Knightstown,+IN.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ayres plot in Glencove Cemetery in Knightstown, IN. L to R: &nbsp;Harrie Ayres died 1860 (son of Henley and Minerva Fithian Ayres), George Ayres died 1856, Anna Swain Ayres died 1856</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Here is where the story becomes murky. &nbsp;Perhaps, Henley Ayres felt he could not raise a two-year-old son by himself. Henry County records indicate that William F. Ayres became a ward to Alexander and Jemima Swain Whitworth in 1856. &nbsp;This is the same couple who had helped to raise Anna Swain. &nbsp;Now the middle-aged couple would raise her son. <br /><br />How much contact Henley had with his son is unknown. &nbsp;William lived in Raysville, a village just minutes away from Knightstown, along the National Road. &nbsp;The 1860 Federal Census reveals that Henley moved into a hotel in Knightstown. &nbsp;On September 18, 1860, he married Minerva Fithian (1839-1898), a considerably younger woman. Their first child, Edward Ayres arrived in 1860. &nbsp;Did William, who was by now six years old, ever meet his half brother? &nbsp;In 1864, tragedy struck the couple when an infant named Harrie died after only moments on this planet. &nbsp;The couple buried the child next to George (an infant from Henley's first marriage) and near his first wife Anna Swain Ayres in the Glencove Cemetery in Knightstown. &nbsp;Two daughters eventually entered the scene and likely brought joy to the couple. &nbsp;Carrie Ayres was born in 1867 while Anna Ayres arrived in 1873. &nbsp;There is no evidence that Henley and William had any contact during this time. &nbsp;William, at age nineteen, was still living with his adopted parents. Why didn't Henley welcome him back into the home? &nbsp;The 1870 Federal Census reveals that Henley owned a home and that he had a personal estate worth $5,500. &nbsp;Perhaps, William did not want to live with his biological father. &nbsp;Small narrative accounts reveal that Williams's adoptive parents, the Whitworths, were kind people. <br /><br />In 1879, at the age of 51 Henley Ayres moved his family to the village of Tecumseh in southeastern, Nebraska. His 25-year-old son, William remained in Indiana and may never have seen his father again. &nbsp;Accounts written by family members indicate that the more than middle-aged Henley struggled under the harsh conditions of the Plains. &nbsp;In 1884, the Ayres moved north to Blunt and then Gettysburg, South Dakota. &nbsp;They faced a harsh life of brutal winters and few conveniences. &nbsp;Carrie Ayres, the daughter of Henley and Minerva, became a school teacher. &nbsp; She eventually married Andrew Williams who became the first mayor of Gettysburg. &nbsp;(According to his memoirs, he was also the first in town to have a bathtub, an automobile, and a Victrola.) <br /><br />Henley became an ordained Methodist minister and was instrumental in founding the Gettysburg Methodist Church. &nbsp;He was a trustee and was part of the building committee in 1888. &nbsp;In 1895, he gave the benediction prayer for the first commencement of graduates at Gettysburg High School. He also served as the president for the Gettysburg Cemetery Association. <br /><br />By all accounts, "Father" Ayres as he was referred to by members of the town, was much loved and respected. &nbsp;His daughters at the very least seemed very devoted to him. &nbsp;He and Minnie Ayres first moved in with their daughter Ann S. Ayres Boyle in Gettysburg in the 1890s. &nbsp;Her husband James Boyle was the Auditor for Potter County, South Dakota. &nbsp;Henley's beloved wife Minerva died suddenly of "brain fever" in 1898. &nbsp;Two years later, both his son Edward, now living in Nebraska, and his daughter Ann died. &nbsp;This must have been a very difficult time for Henley Ayres. &nbsp;The widower then moved in with Carrie Ayres Williams in a home he built for his daughter and son-in-law. &nbsp;It was likely the biggest home in Gettysburg for that time period. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I-nRH4KdV34/UASxmNWECOI/AAAAAAAAB3g/FoEN0vj3rLU/s1600/Mr._and_Henley+Mrs._Ayres_and_daughter,_Anna_Boyle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I-nRH4KdV34/UASxmNWECOI/AAAAAAAAB3g/FoEN0vj3rLU/s320/Mr._and_Henley+Mrs._Ayres_and_daughter,_Anna_Boyle.jpg" width="235" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Henley and Minerva Fithian Ayres and daughter, Anna Boyle in Gettysburg, South Dakota c.1895</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Of course, living thousands of miles away in Raysville, Indiana, William F. Ayres was busy with his own life. &nbsp;I wonder how much he knew of the travails and sadness faced by his father out in South Dakota. &nbsp;William certainly had his own problems after the death of his first wife Marria Barnaby in the early 1890s. &nbsp;His second marriage to a divorcee with a couple of kids likely raised eyebrows around the small Indiana village. &nbsp;His new wife, Grace Clavelle (former married name Leek), and he would have three children together with two living into adulthood. &nbsp;Unlike his father, William after becoming a widower, did not give up any of his children. &nbsp;In fact, he became much more like the Whitworths when he adopted his new wife's children. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0yu10h4iQXY/UASyEdE6MtI/AAAAAAAAB3o/fU6eh3kKeTU/s1600/WilliamFranklinAyres1895.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0yu10h4iQXY/UASyEdE6MtI/AAAAAAAAB3o/fU6eh3kKeTU/s320/WilliamFranklinAyres1895.jpg" width="256" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">William F.

A special thanks to my sister, Susan Gulde, who is also traveling down this road into the past. &nbsp; I am dedicating this post to Barbara Gulde Schmall, the great granddaughter of Henley Ayres. &nbsp;She passed away in 2004, but she was the family historian for years. &nbsp;I, William F.

In 1926, they dwelled at 312 East 8th Street with their three daughters Josephine, Barbara, and Marjory. Eventually, Joseph Gulde, Jr. would arrive on East 8th Street as well. Soon the house on East 8th Street grew too small for the growing family and they moved to East 7th Street before finally moving to 330 East 6th. <div><br /></div><div>In these photos Josephine, Barbara, and Marjory enjoy spending time outside and posing for both winter and summer photographs.

So few images of her exist. She grew up in China, Indiana (Jefferson County) among the German speaking Leinewebers. Her family attended the Catholic Church in China and for a while the young newlyweds even lived there. In the second half of her life she was beset by health problems and she became a somber person. Her grandchildren noted that she stood in stark contrast to the vibrant and sunny Eusebius. He was devoted to her, however, and when she called his name for help, he would be there at her side. More research is needed on the Leinewebers. Thankfully, we have a few pictures of Catherine including this ghostly image.Bill Guldehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03543618957186432656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547769392884485438.post-10864487059735350762011-12-29T05:55:00.000-08:002011-12-29T06:01:20.606-08:00Carl Gulde in Happier Times<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qhrnpl0UC_M/TvxyKVJk9vI/AAAAAAAAA8w/H5TTbTO9GYQ/s1600/CarlGuldeWithHisWife%2527sFamily1945LafayetteIN.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 184px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qhrnpl0UC_M/TvxyKVJk9vI/AAAAAAAAA8w/H5TTbTO9GYQ/s320/CarlGuldeWithHisWife%2527sFamily1945LafayetteIN.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691549550891038450" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gv-6MzeiKUQ/TvxyKFSqPQI/AAAAAAAAA8o/qRF1kBgA2TE/s1600/Carl%2526RhettaGuldeLafayetteIN1945.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 182px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gv-6MzeiKUQ/TvxyKFSqPQI/AAAAAAAAA8o/qRF1kBgA2TE/s320/Carl%2526RhettaGuldeLafayetteIN1945.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691549546634165506" /></a><br />Carl Gulde (1898-1954), although known for his humor and sunny disposition, suffered from injuries or effects from World War I upon his return home. He and his wife Henrietta also grieved over the loss of two babies. These two photos, likely taken in the 1940s, show Carl and perhaps Henrietta Gannon Gulde's family having a good time. It looks like these were taken at the Veteran's Home in Lafayette, Indiana.

His sense of humor is quite evident with this picture as he poses in a bonnet. I am not sure he could have imagined a day with blogs where everyone could see his light-hearted prank, but I hope he would find it funny that his family kept this little gem for over one hundred years.Bill Guldehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03543618957186432656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547769392884485438.post-66414227208450915052011-12-28T18:05:00.000-08:002011-12-28T18:13:19.903-08:00Joseph Gulde in World War I<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z82pE5jgg8I/TvvMmO5b_aI/AAAAAAAAA8E/vMqbVap7u5I/s1600/JosephGulde%2528left%2529overlooking%2BRhineR%2Bat%2BCoblenz%252CGermany1919.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z82pE5jgg8I/TvvMmO5b_aI/AAAAAAAAA8E/vMqbVap7u5I/s320/JosephGulde%2528left%2529overlooking%2BRhineR%2Bat%2BCoblenz%252CGermany1919.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691367511318855074" /></a><br />Joseph Gulde (1896-1983) served his country during the Great War. He arrived in Europe towards the end of the war. He guarded German prisoners and played the bugle each morning to awaken the troops. At the conclusion of the war, he along with the other doughboys, were kept in Europe throughout the wrangling over the Treaty of Versailles. Like many soldiers, he longed to go home, but he also took advantage of the opportunity to explore his environments. In this photo he and a buddy stand on a hill overlooking the Rhine towards the city of Coblentz, Germany. He spent many months near this city. He attended Catholic mass in the main cathedral of the city and he collected postcards and photos of his time there. The photo was likely taken in 1919.

<br />One of the most difficult moments in Eusebius (1858-1954) and Catherine Leineweber Gulde's (1857-1943) lives came in 1911 when their two older sons Louis (1886-1977) and George (1891-1950) convinced the couple to buy farm acreage near Waycross, Georgia. The Guldes had been farming in southern Rush County on the Anderson property north of Milroy, Indiana when they made the decision to leave the state. Mr. Anderson, who leased the land to Eusebius asked him to reconsider, but the Gulde's had never owned their own farm before. <div>
<br /></div><div>The family loaded up everything they owned in the world including some farm animals and made the long journey to southern Georgia most likely on a train. Upon their arrival, they were shocked to learn that they had been hoodwinked. The land was a swamp and they lost everything. After realizing that they could not survive in Georgia, the family quietly moved back to Madison, Indiana. Louis and George went their separate ways as well. While the poor business deal did destroy their livelihood, the family still remained close. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>In this photo Louis Gulde poses with his cousin John Gulde in Waycross, Georgia in 1911. More research is needed on John. Louis (on the left) had already married Missouri Winscott by the time this photo was taken. Louis and Missouri would eventually settle in Webster, Indiana, a small village in Wayne County. </div>Bill Guldehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03543618957186432656noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-547769392884485438.post-40717894048424195452011-08-28T07:59:00.000-07:002011-08-28T08:06:20.784-07:00Rosalia K.

<br />Rosalia K. (Rose) Gulde (1882-1960) poses for a photo after her first communion mass in Madison, Indiana around 1892. Rose was the oldest child of Eusebius (1858-1954) and Catherine Leineweber Gulde (1857-1943). Madison photographer G.L. Spaulding staged the photo to include important religious relics. In less than ten years she would marry Joseph Risk in 1901. Rose would spend most of her life in and around the Madison, Indiana area. She remained close to her parents throughout her life.

<br />Carl Gulde (1898-1954) ran a barber school just west of downtown Indianapolis for many years. His shop is no longer standing. He resided at 944 North Oakland Avenue in the city. That home is still standing in 2011, but may not be long in this world as it is boarded up and in a less than desirable location of the city. His business card reveals that he called himself "Dr." Carl Gulde! I suppose if you put it on your business card then it must be true! <div>
<br /></div><div>The top image is Carl Gulde's business card. In the second image is a photo of some of his graduates. You may learn more about Gulde's School of Barber Science in a previous post. Rhetta Gulde, his wife, poses for him on the grounds of Veteran's Home in Lafayette, Indiana. The couple would eventually move there due to his health problems. In the bottom photo, you can see that Carl had a great sense of humor. Stories abound among his nieces and nephews of his many pranks. He was clearly having fun in this photo taken around 1945 at the Veteran's Home. Carl remained a devout Roman Catholic till his death.

<br />Carl Gulde (1898-1954), the youngest child of Eusebius Gulde (1858-1954) and Catherine Leineweber Gulde (1857-1943), operated a barber school for many years in Indianapolis at 472 West Washington Street. He suffered some health problems after returning home from World War I. He had been stationed in Siberia during much of the war. A tall man, he eventually married Henrietta (Rhetta) Gannon in 1931. Unfortunately, none of their children lived into adulthood. Carl and Rhetta moved into the Veteran's home in Lafayette, where he died suddenly in 1954. Some in the family noted that the patriarch, Eusebius died shortly thereafter because of the shock of losing his youngest son. <div>

<br />Joseph Gulde (1896-1983) posed for this photograph around 1958. By this point in his life, his contracting business flourished, but his eyesight deteriorated. Large cataracts kept him from the job sites so he began to rely upon his sons and other workmen to run the business. Depressed by his situation, his daughter Barbara Gulde Schmall (1934-2004) encouraged him to take up art. He had always loved to draw so he started by painting by numbers, a craze that many Americans embraced during the 1950s and 60s. Eventually, he began to paint on his own scenes despite his failing vision. He would be quite prolific and dozens of his original paintings still exist. Many of those will eventually be featured on this blog. In this photo he stands next to Anna Ayres Gulde's (1901-1982) flower garden in the backyard of 330 East 6th Street in Rushville, Indiana. She loved daisies. He also never left the house without a hat.

<br />Joseph Gulde (1896-1983) proudly holds his son William Franklin Gulde in the spring of 1937. The baby boy had been born on January 30, and was the last child of Joseph and Anna Ayres Gulde (1901-1982). Shortly before his birth, the Great Flood of 1937 struck the state of Indiana. Many people along major rivers perished. The Flatrock River spilled over its banks and emptied into downtown Rushville, but never rose to East 7th Street where the family rented a home. Shortly after the birth of little Billy the family moved into 330 East 6th Street. Bill was named for his maternal grandfather, William F. Ayres.

George and Egle eventually settled in Liberty, Indiana. Sadly, Anna died in the Great Influenza Epidemic of 1918 one year after these photos were taken.

Family lore reveals that she died during the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918. 25 percent of all American households were struck by the Influenza and many with deadly outcomes.
